10 INSTALLATION Choosing the Proper Location Install the washer on a solid floor that is strong and rigid enough to support the weight of the washer, even when fully loaded, without flexing or bouncing. If the floor has too much flex, you may need to reinforce it to make it more rigid. If the floor is not solid, it may cause severe vibration and noise. NOTE ••The washer must be installed on firm flooring to minimize vibration during the spin cycle.
INSTALLATION 11 Unpacking and Removing Shipping Material 2 CAUTION ENGLISH Unpack all shipping materials from the washer for proper operation and inspect it for shipping damage. To prevent damage, do not remove the foam block containing the owner’s manual, parts, and laundry product samples from the washer tub until the washer is in the final location. ••Failure to remove shipping materials can cause excessive noise and vibration. 1 Lift the washer off the foam base.
12 INSTALLATION Connecting the Water Lines To avoid the risk of costly water damage, purchase and install new inlet hoses when installing the washer. 1 Check the fittings and seals. Inspect the threaded fitting on each hose and make sure there is a rubber seal in place in both ends of each hose to prevent leaking.

ENGLISH NOTE ••The drain hose should always be properly secured. Failure to properly secure the drain hose can result in flooding and property damage. Tie strap ••Make sure that the drain hose is not stretched, pinched, crushed, or kinked.
14 INSTALLATION Leveling the Washer The tub of the washer spins at very high speeds. To minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted movement, the floor must be a level, solid surface. NOTE ••Adjust the leveling feet only as far as necessary to level the washer. Extending the leveling feet more than necessary can cause the washer to vibrate. NOTE ••To check if the washer is level from side to side, place a level on the back edge of the lid (door).
INSTALLATION 15 Connecting to the Power Supply WARNING ••Do not use a worn or damaged power cord or power plug. Replace or repair it immediately. Failure to do so may result in death, fire, electric shock, or malfunction. Check if the washer is properly installed and run a test cycle. 1 Make sure the tub is empty. Do not load anything in the tub for this test. 2 Press the Power button then immediately press and hold both the Spin and Soil buttons until an code appears in the display.
